One Life, Lived in Death ~ PopeAlessandros x Wernher

Alright, will post tomorrow. Until then, indeed how?

I'm open to suggestions, had about two main ideas in mind.

1: Aslon sees Gilbert move the body of the previous scout for disection and decides to confirm his death & prevent the body to be victim to the necromancers. That, of course, quickly goes down the drain.

2: Gilbert gets bored and returns to the castle while most of his minions are still on the hunt. Aslon sees this as his chance while he is isolated, however powerful necromancers aren't just killed by a few arrows in the back.

Other ideas?

Mirai Nikki: Alternate Entry

Name: Akira Nakai
Gender: Female
Age: 23
Title: X

Personality: Always calm, rational and collected, Akira tends to value statistical probabilities above all and prefers to deal with things from a distance and with time to consider all angles, in situations where she is rushed she tend to lack the time needed to take good decision and leans heavily on her diary in those cases. Morally, she calls herself a 'Relativist' and sees only the cost vs the gains without much of the broader emotional impacts of what she may do, 'Evil and good being only opinions' if you ask her.

History: Far from terrible and sad, Akira's history is that of a nerdy middle class girl. To put it bluntly, she was a genius capable of understanding the most complex of theoretical science at 12 and publishing in scientific journals at 15, she then quickly made her way through university and had some fame a few years back as Japan's Brightest, participating to science quiz shows and the likes, although it's behind her now. She was hired at the university she studied in to work on the applications of Quantum mechanics which she has been diligently doing for a few years. She began to converse with Deus about the 'why?' of her work and in general, the why of everything in life. She had the 'how' figured out, or at least could figure it out easily, but always struggled to see the greater impact of science and try and decide which way she should steer her work. She works toward becoming a god believing the status of godhood would allow her to have greater perspective in this: Why? Why existence, the purpose of it, etc. "I never was good at philosophy, perhaps cheating by becoming Omnicient is just what I need."

Occupation: Researcher in theoretical physics, University of Sakurami City.

Diary

Diary Name: The Scientific Insight
Diary Appearance: The diary is one of Akira's creation, a functional Quantum computer of enormous computing power. This fact however she hopes no one will ever know, since this computer is too large to be held or even moved without significant amount of machines, and that is if the university would even let it leave its ground. Thankfully, its existence is quite a secret outside of the university and Akira is able to network it with her cell phone and laptop as long as she has wifi, both she carries at all time to confuse the others about which are her diary, if neither are in truth.

Diary Ability: Her diary is a journal of her scientific project and tell all that is going to happen to the project while also telling her how to complete said project. It comes with a main text, notes, diagrams, images and abbreviations which others could find confusing to read if they are unused to it. Some things to consider however.
+By making the project of 'Bomb diffusing' for example, it will allow her to determine how to defuse a bomb easily since the diary works as if the subject of the project was studied carefully for all the time needed by Akira in a controlled lab environment.
+This of course allows her to build anything in the realm of possible with record time and with the easiest possible available resources. The more complex the equipment the more time consuming actually getting what to make it can be: Building a bomb would be quite easily doable with things found around a home, building a functional railgun or space plane could give instructions that might not be doable at the time.
-This is of course limited by the physical feasibility of the project, if it's something that she, even with all the time in the world, couldn't figure out, then it will simply state that she failed to end the project and it will end.
+This allows her to watch over a physical item in some case, if the project is 'Find a way to destroy a building', the project will tell her that her efforts are side tracked at a certain location due to the presence of something or someone.
-The diary only tells about the project itself, although it can provide some insights about what may happen to her directly it will generally be vague. 'I, team project leader Akira Nakai was killed as I entered the hall to place the first explosives to a strategic location, the project was thus terminated.' Since who killed her in what way doesn't influence the progression of the project these 'Useless details' are left out.
-To 'Kill someone' or to 'Discover who is someone' doesn't enter a possible project since these are not the creation or manipulation of a physical object. Akira can decide to add 'Bug the computer of subject X', but it will not tell her if the subject ever becomes aware of her bugging of the computer or find her the information she'd find afterward without actually having to plant the bug. Likewise to project to destroy a building only plans to destroy a building, if someone inside dies or does not die doesn't factor in the success or failure of blowing the building.
-The diary is only active for as long as the project is and like stated earlier will only mention the state of the project. Once the project is completed she doesn't have anymore insight on the project itself.
+Projects can include 'Leaping from point A to point B', the form it will take is stating the most secure way to achieve it.
-This doesn't factor in detection. As such, if someone is aware of her diary abilities he can just decide to point a gun on her, let her accomplish her task, and then execute her. Since there was no intention to kill her before the project is over and thus make an entry stating that the project fails, the diary will be none the wiser.

Jochi considered what had been said and nodded. "Bypassing the king of Fristha and forcing Anstarn in a bad or worst choice... It is cunning your majesty... I do hope that this isn't the start of a trend however, as you said earlier 'We either fight with complete honour or none at all, there is no middle ground in your reign.'... I believe we may not share the same conception of honor, but I will follow your lead." Beowulf loudly crashed his hands on the table and got up. Jochi jumped a little at the sudden action right next to him. The man of Anstarn spoke with his accent (Think Arnold Schwarzenegger). "I agree with Jochi about questioning your notion of honor. I for one will follow my king, but..." He leaned closer toward the princess across the table. "...I hope for all of our sake that my fellow countrymen will not have the same definition of honor as you. Them deciding it is best to be 'Pushing away a weak king for a popular princess more cooperative to their ideas' could be a very bad news for this alliance of yours. You are not so cunning as you think and if this alliance is built on convenient opportunism it is doomed, as are we all." He pushed himself away from the table. "I'll wait for words from my king and from my king alone before taking a stance about this. It is a shame, but not all unexpected, to see Jochi, Revaz and Helgland in general, the most openly willing to strike at your weakness, to be the one to gain the most of this alliance proposal. At the end of the day, my people will still starve every winter without your damn handouts. Perhaps Revaz was right and the only way for Anstarn to survive and thrive in this world is to take every opportunity to move forward, even if it means straying from the path that is Righteous."

Beowulf walked away leaving a moment of silence around the table. Jochi finally broke it. "Then so be it. We will however have to discuss about the command structure of this army, no Helgland will ever fight under the banner of an Elianst general. And of course, there is still the matter of the conservatives among Helgland. I'm thinking of giving the land you are offering to Revaz, of all people. If we get her on board most of the hardliners should follow and-" Jochi was interrupted by Caroline's cry and collapse. "W-what's going on?! What's wrong with her?"

Music

Revaz loudly slammed the door of her room shut behind her and began to pace in her room. She knew Jochi was shifty but she didn't expect him to betray her like that, marry the damn queen and let her down like a used rag now that he had better prospects for his own future. Asshole. Revaz fell heavily on her bed without bothering to take off her armor or boots and she began to think. She couldn't just mass her army and go tear a new asshole to Elianst while they were busy alone. Even if she managed to somehow ally with the invaders they were sure to back stab her later on and she'd never have the resources to fight them alone. The voice of her familiar came to her ear, she felt him slithering on the bed. "Now, now, Revaz... We know what we want, don't we? Wealth, power, land... But do we not think we may approach thisss on the wrong angle?" Revaz rolled her eyes and didn't bother to look at the snake. "Oh, aren't you the insightful little thing? Why don't you shut up for a change? I don't need your damn advices."

It continued... the voice was a little bit different this time it seemed. "I'm just saying... don't you think you may be thinking too... small." Revaz was about to rebuke the snake, but there was something strange to this, she frowned. "Think of it." Yes, the voice was distinctively feminine. Realizing this Revaz turned to face the snake and to her surprised faced... herself, with the arrogant half-smile she always had. In her surprise she pushed herself away, but it wasn't that large of a bed and she quickly found there was no more bed to fall back on and began to fall to the ground. With lightning reflex however her copy grabbed her forearm and prevented her fall. The double continued to speak. "Think of it? How did your father went from a goat herder to a lord? How has any war ever been won? It's not by fighting like Elianst, and certainly not like Fristha, although that one princess may be an exception." The copy pulled Revaz back over the edge and on the bed, inches from its face. "How? Tell me!" Revaz tried to lunch a kick toward... her other self, but she found it blocked. As she looked down to see how she had managed to block it without ever looking down, the copy got on top of her and pinned her down. It leaned toward her. "Revaz Samarkand, how do you win a war?!" It was almost as if it was going to kiss her so Revaz turned her head before answering. "By attacking!"

A triumphant smile appeared on the copy and loosened her hold and leaned back, still looking at her but this time with a large grind. "That's right! By stealing the lives their peasants and enslave them before they can be trained into soldier! By stealing their ore before they can make swords out of them! By stealing their precious and valuable gold and gems before they can use it to pay for this pitiful war of theirs... By making all that is theirs yours and when you have sapped their strength and hope to win, they are at your mercy to get what we want, what you want. Don't you see it?! It's the key! At. Their. Home. Turf. Elianst? Why do you think so small!? We're better then this! Play this game, their game, that of the 3 others, so happy to defend their homes and loved ones, but even they know that you can't win by blocking all arrows if you can't get the archer on the other side of the sea... Make their fire weapons yours, make their tactics your own, make their gold flow into your own pockets and finally, claim them, body and soul, as yours to command... You've stolen gold and lives, but it's time to play a bigger game and steal yourself a kingdom, an empire! But for this you need them, your 'allies', to use them, if only as a distraction, and this game they will play with you, because as much as you need them, they need... you..."

As she finished the sentence the double placed a single finger before its face and began to advance it toward Revaz's. Mesmerized, she could only follow the digit and the face of her double began to fade in the distance as a black shadow. When the finger touched her nose, Revaz blinked. In front of her, was her snake. "Now, now, Revaz, are we alright? We heard us speak in our sleep." A dream? No, it couldn't have been, it felt so real! Out of a reflex she gave side chop with her hand at the snake. It didn't mind, bending with the hit and twisting itself around the arm and moving on to the body. "Are we alright? We are sssweaty. It seems like it was quite the vivid dream." Revaz took a moment to place her ideas back in order. "Revaz?" She ignored her familiar and began to lean back. Yes, it was genius! Why didn't she think of it earlier? The alliance, Elianst, it was all... manageable, something that could be used for something greater. What was Elianst, but a petty little nation, getting its capital overwhelmed in mere hours? There was so much more potential for herself.

Jochi was silent for a moment. Revaz stared at him coldly, he knew what she thought. Beowulf however decided to start eating and so a loud *splort* interrupted the silence as he took mashed potato and added it to his dish.. Jochi spoke. "First and foremost, I would like to answer to Lady Elizabeth and state that my belief that the strangers will not bother invading us comes from war experience, in the fact that one invades only if the land he seeks is both worth holding and is holdable. Helgland is neither. The Earth does not bless us with crops or gems, but with earth quakes and volcanoes. If they will come to us to exterminate us, I salute their bravery. Now. I highly doubt that these foreigners are as bad as you would describe them and while their weapons may be fearsome indeed, I believe surprise, demilitarization following the end of the war as well as an admiralty too focused on enemies coming from in-land rather than from the sea..." He gave a side look to Henry while Revaz had a chuckle. "...could have caused you to suffer such a catastrophic defeat. As for your offer of marriage your majesty..."

Beowulf stopped eating while Revaz rolled her eyes. Jochi took the time to chose his words and proceeded hesitantly. "While I am quite certain my father would appreciate one of his grand son ruling Elianst and this would indeed cement a permanent alliance between our countries... Well." He stopped for a few seconds, but realized that there was no way to refuse this. "Well, I guess I can hardly refuse now can I." He said so with no real enthusiasm. Beowulf nodded negatively and muttered to himself. Revaz on the other hand got up and left, not before dropping a cynical comment. "Of course you take the easy way out, fucking cowardly traitor. Good luck for the rest, king Jochi of Elianst." Jochi grind his teeth but kept his composure. "It will take time for both our people to accept this, but this if for the better, for all of us. We will take control of the region you offer us immediately and I will message my father to mobilize his armies. You... we will do the same in Elianst. I trust you have deals to bring the other nations into the fold as well?"

The assembly of 3 turned toward the queen with some amount of surprise on Jochi's face, anger on both Revaz and Beowulf. When the queen finished talking, it was Revaz that spoke before Jochi, fixating the queen. "My gods you've got guts to come at this table." Jochi, knowing where this was going raised his hand to stop Revaz from continuing. "I am terribly sorry that Her Lordship Samarkand is unable to greet you with a smile, we however were discussing the... motives of the Academy closing its doors. We found it hard for us to not see this as you taking us as a guarantee that no nation would use this moment of weakness to attempt any... bold political moves." Revaz crossed her arms. "In short, we're you're damn hostages since you don't trust us not to break the truce." It was Beowulf that finished this by muttering. "Not that we can blame you."

Jochi didn't bother to try and lessen the words of those at his table, for he knew it wouldn't change anything and for he shared their sentiment. "I will not spit at the chance of negotiations, but I will mention that I have have high doubt they will come to expect the need of our nations and some people may have doubt to your willingness to grant anything after a possible war against the foreigners without your kingdom forcing Helgland in a truce by allying with everyone else in the continent, again. I will admit we on this table have been contemplating the idea that perhaps... your side is not the one that would be the most profitable to be on." Not all that subtle, and extremely clear. You're not just negotiating to have us on your side, but also to make sure we're not on the other.

I worked on the idea that dogs couldn't smell the elf, but the horse yes, sorry. And why not, really, my guy has practical immortality at the moment since his soul is linked to something in the castle (You'll find out what eventually.) so I pretty much expect this to happen.
